Abstract

In this paper, we compare the performance of several channel estimation techniques in training and pilot based OFDM systems. Both sample and non sample spaced channels have been considered along with null sub-carriers. We also present a modified interpolation based FFT estimator for training based channel estimation in presence of null sub-carriers for sample spaced channels. Improvement in performance compared to conventional FFT based estimator is shown through simulation results.
